For everyone with too many drives

Every file. Every drive.
Even unplugged.

Platter catalogs all your external drives so you can search any file offline — even when the drive is sitting in a drawer. Map your storage as a living graph, and let AI organize the chaos for you.

Why Platter

Built for drives that pile up

One catalog for everything you own — searchable, visual, and smart enough to tidy itself.

Offline search

Search without plugging in

Scan a drive once. After that, Platter remembers its file index so you can search the whole library even when the drive is unplugged.

  • Scan a drive a single time
  • Search the whole library offline
  • Instant results, fully local
